I need Hawk Harrelson and John Lackey in a ring ASAP. A day after the Chicago White Sox announcer was publicly wishing for Cubs pitcher John Lackey to get injured, Harrelson wasn’t done.
A quick refresher from Tuesday’s game.

Lackey said after the game that he wasn’t trying to hit the White Sox on purpose and well when you consider he was just trying to get through the fifth inning with a lead it makes more sense that he wasn’t than to assume he was putting runners on base intentionally. Anyway, Hawk doesn’t want to listen to any of that.
Here’s Hawk on John Lackey before Wednesday night’s game.
Via the Chicago Tribune:
“I was hoping that they would drill his ass big time because he’s an idiot,” Harrelson said. “At that point, the game was not the issue. It was Lackey. He’s in the pennant race. This is a big-boy game. There’s no bull(expletive) here. He’s putting (Kris) Bryant and (Anthony) Rizzo in jeopardy.”
Harrelson said he was “protecting my Sox.” When told Lackey said he hadn’t hit the Sox players on purpose, Harrelson balked.
“He’s full of (expletive), and you can print that,” Harrerlson said. “He’s full of it. He always has been.”
Oh and Hawk wants the White Sox to hit more Cubs players.
Harrelson said he didn’t know if the score was settled after Sox reliever Chris Beck hit Ian Happ with a pitch in the bottom of the inning.
“I hope not,” Harrelson said. “4-for-1 is not very good math. Let’s see how the game goes. Sometimes you might even file it until maybe — I don’t think he will be, but if he’s back with them next year — maybe file it until next year.”
I think Hawk is extra grumpy these days because his lover Todd Frazier got traded away to the New York Yankees.
